MCP server for Xero — global cloud accounting for SMBs.

Xero is the #2 global SMB ERP and the leader in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, with rapid expansion in the US. Paired with QuickBooks, the two platforms cover roughly 80% of global SMB accounting. For LatAm SaaS serving US/UK/AU/NZ customers or with international subsidiaries, Xero is the essential complement to our Brazil-native ERPs (Omie, Conta Azul, Bling, Tiny).

Install

npm install @codespar/mcp-xero

Environment

XERO_ACCESS_TOKEN="..."   # OAuth2 bearer access token (required, secret)
XERO_TENANT_ID="..."      # Xero tenant/organization id (required)

Authentication

Xero uses OAuth2. Every request includes:

Authorization: Bearer <XERO_ACCESS_TOKEN>
Xero-tenant-id: <XERO_TENANT_ID>
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json

This server assumes a pre-issued access token. OAuth consent, refresh-token rotation, and tenant selection happen upstream (in your OAuth proxy or secrets layer). When the token expires, Xero returns 401 and the tool surfaces the error verbatim — refresh and retry.

Run

# stdio (default — Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc)
npx @codespar/mcp-xero

# HTTP (server-to-server testing)
MCP_HTTP=true MCP_PORT=3000 npx @codespar/mcp-xero

Where clause

Xero's list endpoints accept a where query param for server-side filtering. Examples:

Name.Contains("ACME")
IsCustomer==true
Status=="AUTHORISED" AND Type=="ACCREC"
Date>=DateTime(2026,1,1)
Contact.ContactID==guid("00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000")

Positioning in the CodeSpar ERP catalog

• Brazil-native: Omie, Conta Azul, Bling, Tiny — NF-e, Simples Nacional, local tax.
• Global SMB: Xero + QuickBooks — US/UK/AU/NZ/global accounting.

Use Xero for companies headquartered or operating outside Brazil (or with international entities). Use the BR-native servers for the local market.
